We're excited to announce that the Humane Society of Knox County's cat car float won top honors in the non profit division at the 65th annual Lobster Festival Parade. The HSKC Cat Car, equipped with ears, a tail and a whimsical mewing car horn and towing a larger than life dog, wowed the crowd. The car is part of HSKC's community outreach program, teaching responsible pet ownership, serving twenty mid-coast towns and encouraging community members to volunteer at the shelter. HSKC, your community animal shelter, cares for over 1200 animals a year.

The Humane Society of Knox County, a private, independent organization, was founded in 1989 to provide care, protection, and loving homes for abandoned and homeless companion animals in the Midcoast Maine area. The Society operates an animal shelter located between the Dexter Street Extension and Buttermilk Lane in Thomaston that is open between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday (closed Sundays). The Humane Society of Knox County provides animal support services to the towns of Rockland, Thomaston, Warren, Owls Head, St. George, Port Clyde, Martinsville, Tenants Harbor, S. Thomaston (including Spruce Head), Hope, Union, Appleton, Montville, Cushing, Matinicus, North Haven, Vinalhaven, Stockton Springs, and Morrill.
